I just couldn't stomach paying someone for nearly all the gig work option. The exception was uber. The taxi companies always pissed me off. Using a credit card was harder than it needed to be for a long time, and they just didn't bother to try new things to improve the experience. And of course there are the ones that controlled the supply so they could drive up prices.
But I still only used it when on vacation, like in vegas.
But shopping for me, and all that. Just couldn't do it.

I've also had some bad experiences with taxi services. So I totally get that. It's just too bad that instead of improving their service and fees, that they just got replaced with gig work . I've always heard it said that you can't really be an ethical consumer in capitalism. We often don't have ethical alternatives.

They wanted cash so they could not pay taxes on it. They rode that one all the way into the sunset.
